Terminal Colors

How do I change them

[aaronjf]

Does anyone know if there is a way to change the text and background colors of the Terminal window?

Call me nostalgic, I want to change them to black and green.

I found this oldie :

[macdevcenter.com...]

Is it of any help?

I have mine currently set to slightly transparent black background with green font. :-)

Menu: Terminal-->Window Settings
Hit the drop-down menu and go to "Color." Here you can change most everything in the window. To make it default, click the "Use Settings as Defaults" button.

Aranor,

thanks I looked right past that. Totally did the trick...

[aaronjf]

Ah, but it does not hold onto those preferances... Evey time you open a new shell it reverts back to black and white :-P

Look for .something files. They are hidden setting files. I do not use Mac, but in *nix you can do it that way. Usually it is in your home directory. You can do a "ls -lA" command to see all the files. There you can edit your permanent settings.

Yeah you can us ls. I will have to give that a wirl.
